The Mud Springs Loop Trail is a 14.5-mile loop that starts from the Sawmill Trailhead along Lee Canyon Road and runs out to the northwest. I've not hiked this trail, but the map is accurate (USFS maps confirmed using aerial photos) except in the area around Waypoint (Wpt.) 25 where the trail is not visible on aerial photos. Waypoints 20 through 30 were chosen for strategic directions at places where the trail is visible on aerial photos.

Hikers should not expect to find water at Mud Spring, but those with 4WD vehicles could cache water near Wpt. 26 or Wpt. 27
